====================
Jeff Myers relates that Marx says that 'all societies must pass though
the socialist stage on their path to communist society.'

Why don't you tell Groucho to look at the facts. Or, better yet, look at
them yourself.

Did Russia go thru a Socialist stage? Poland? Checkoslovakia? Afghanistan?
The list goes on...

====================
Sorry this wasn't marked with a ":-)".  Before I started reading this net
a year or two ago, I would have naturally assumed it was a joke, but now
I'm not so sure.  I might even believe that our new version of the
plunkett person really thought Groucho was intended :-), but to suggest
that the countries named have approached Marxian Communism really IS
a joke.  To suggest that they want to is even more of a joke.  Perhaps
he really did mean Groucho!

I guess I should apologize to Algus; his other posting about union-enforced
communism really was quite funny, and we don't have a net.politics.jokes or
net.jokes.politics.
